This is a REd Synchronous class.

It is important to understand when a mentee requires help, as well as when they are ready to independently carry out a task or project. The class covers frameworks for understanding research mentee development, the effective use of mentee onboarding processes, and the role of mistakes in a mentee’s development. During the live class meeting, we will use case studies to explore issues in understanding and fostering independence.

Class Objectives: At the conclusion of this class, you should be able to:

• List and relate qualities of a mentee to independence readiness
• Explain when a mentee is ready to independently take on a project or task
• Identify considerations and implications of such independence for mentees of all backgrounds.
